The 6 Month Mark

I can't believe I'm already at six months. This month is another milestone for expectant mothers-to-be. At 24 weeks, the baby has the potential to survive outside the uterus if it happened to be born now.

How wonderful to know that even at 1.32 pounds, modern medicine has made it possible for a baby to survive. Even with that said, I would not want her to come early unless it was an absolute emergency.

Admittedly, I have started to get extremely excited for her arrival. We've started shopping for her crib and bedding; and I started reading every book on birth and newborns that I can get my hands on.

Some of you have kindly asked about my registry. I am registered at amazon.com and target.com. I did some serious research on pricing and both Amazon and Target were cheaper than Babies-R-Us. And the items that I have on Amazon were cheaper or about the same price as Target.

I am baffled as to how many things one really needs for a newborn baby. Both rich and I were laughing about this when we started the registry because we really had no idea what to buy. Thankfully some of my experienced friends provided some guidance.

We signed up for a birthing class and a newborn care class in April - hopefully this will calm some of the jitters we both share about being first time parents.
